#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

remember: if healers get better or better yet become a role to respect again your dps queue time will improve as people play the role again.
the long dps queue time is just a symptom of the larger problem. By supporting the strike you are supporting a push for healers to be heard.

People don't avoid healers because they're not good or not respected. They avoid them because most people don't like that responsibility. It's the same reason "tankxiety" is a thing, but amplified because people will basically blame you for any death that isn't explicitly, and very clearly, their fault.

The nature of Tank and Healer roles both having visible impacts on how a queue goes, as well as distinct avenues for blame, will always guarantee that DPS roles will be far more numerous.

Not to speak of the fact that there are significantly many more DPS classes than Healers and Tanks. Hell, we have 3 categories for DPS where we only have 1 for Tanks and 1 for Healers. (Not that this particular fact is a bad thing, I'm just saying)
